We read the article‚ “We Should Cherish Our Children’s Freedom to Think” last week. The author Kie Ho uses his own experiences about his son’s thought and many examples to prove his point.

In 1984‚ George Orwell depicted a world of absolute monarchy and authority. This was an age of tyranny and indoctrination. Freedom and liberty were foreign to the people in Oceania and their lives were constantly under the omnipresence of ever watchful telescreens.
